Just above the town of Borgnone at the beginning of the "market path", the mule track that once led to the Locarno market and was an important connection between the Locarno area and the Vigezzo Valley. There are interesting testimonies of the rural world including the ruins of some mills and a bread oven (1884).

The mill park is located above the village of Borgnone, in the locality of Lionza, at the beginning of the "market path", the mule track that once led to the Locarno market and was an important connecting route between the Locarno area, the Centovalli, the Vigezzo valley and the Simplon was.
The park, which can be reached in about twenty minutes on foot from Camedo, was inaugurated in 2002 after a series of restoration works on the artisanal structures of the area. It has several interesting pieces of evidence from the countryside: around the stream you can see the remains of a racket, a wash house once fed by a warm water spring, the ruins of some mills and a bread oven (1884).

A lot of things are a bit overgrown, but it's still worth investing some time and studying the buildings and ruins.
